UK Media Discovering Swaziland's Secrets

Posted on: Wednesday, May 03, 2017

A group of journalists from the UK, writing for a number of top newspapers and websites, arrived in Swaziland today courtesy of leading UK adventure tour operator Explore!, for a jam-packed tour of this amazing and little discovered Kingdom.

Swaziland may be small, at around half the size of Belgium, but it has a big heart, friendly people and an amazing variety of rich culture, thrilling safaris and stunning scenery. ‘Africa-in-a-Nutshell’, it’s small, safe, welcoming and easy to travel around, offering a genuine experience of real Africa. A rich culture of unique and ancient traditions is carefully guarded and faithfully celebrated. Beautiful and varied landscapes can be easily explored and Swaziland’s parks and reserves are home to the Big 5 and offer exciting safaris by a variety of methods – on foot, by bike, on horseback or in a 4x4. The choice of activities is vast, from rhino-tracking to tree top canopy tours, via white-water rafting and endless hiking possibilities.

With its wide range of activities and experiences, Swaziland has recently been establishing itself as a stand-alone destination, a position that this media trip is sure to cement. When, in 2015, Explore! became the first UK adventure operator to offer a Swaziland-only trip, it quickly became their best selling new long-haul trip of that year! Building on that momentum Explore! are taking a select group of UK media out to Swaziland to share what they have discovered for themselves. With representatives from the London Evening Standard, the Mail on Sunday, the Irish Independent and Lonely Planet joining the trip, Swaziland's secret will soon be well and truly out!
